RAGTAG One of seven young dogs living in a vacant lot in an old sofa
amid other furniture which had been discarded. The lot was next door to the home of
the people who owned the mother These people would not give the dogs to us as
puppies at which time we would have had a chance at finding them homes. They
grew up semi-wild. The one pictured was obviously sick with a systemic disease.
We tried to befriend the dogs but they were too wild. We fed all of them,
kept water available, improved their shelter and even dropped antibiotic tablets into the
food of the one pictured while we worked to get them into proper care.

INFECTION
ON DOG ATTACKED BY ANOTHER DOGØ
When we were called to the home of this dog, we were appalled to find the wounds you see
in the photo. They were inflicted by a notoriously aggresssive neighborhood dog and
had been unattended for several days. The wounds were full of maggots. The
family that owned the dog received money from the neighbor whose dog had attacked Chi Chi
but they refused to use the money to treat the dog. They preferred to forfeit the
dog.

This story had a happy ending. Chi Chi was adopted by the
veterinarian who treated him. We were thrilled to have such a happy solution.
We could never have raised enough money for the treatment of this animal and would not
have had a home for her if we had healed her

PUPPIES WITH SARCOPTIC MANGEA white puppy with an advanced case of sarcoptic mange was tethered outside our
door one morning.. A trip to the veterinarian confirmed the condition. Two
more white puppies with mange and obviously from the same litter were tethered outside our
door on subsequent days. They were sad-eyed pups, obviously not feeling well or
happy.
